What to ask about before you visit

These are findings in the public CMS record for this home. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from a federal inspection or enforcement file.

  • Nursing staff turnover of 61%

    High turnover means residents rarely see the same caregiver twice. The national average is about 50%.

Our read on Madison Valley Manor

Madison Valley Manor runs on county money, and the staffing shows it: 6.58 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only about 4% below weekdays, so families visiting on Saturdays shouldn't find a skeleton crew. The trade-off sits in turnover, 61.3% of staff leaving annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means new faces at the bedside more often than you'd like. The inspection record is clean where it counts: 14 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related. A 5/5 health inspection rating and a May 2026 survey round out a home that's well staffed and well reviewed, but not without churn.
